Dear All,


You are warmly invited to a one day event in Ghent, Belgium, hosted by
the International Image Interoperability Framework community
(http://iiif.io/) and Ghent University Library (http://lib.ugent.be/),
describing the power and potential of interoperable image delivery
over the Web.


The day will showcase how institutions are leveraging IIIF to reduce
total cost and time to deploy image delivery solutions, while
simultaneously improving end user experience with a new host of rich
and dynamic features. It will also highlight how to participate in
this growing movement to take advantage of the common framework.  This
event will be valuable for organizational decision makers, repository
and collection managers, software engineers; for cultural heritage or
STEM (science / technology / engineering / medicine) institutions; or
for anyone engaged with image-based resources on the Web.


The event will be held at the beautiful Ghent Opera House on Tuesday
December 8th, 2015.  There is no cost to attend, but please register

A detailed program and further logistical information is available at:

providers and major aggregators.
